- This is the Hubsan H501S X4 advanced versus DJI Phantom 3 advanced. In this video I will compare the performance, features and price. This includes flight time, hover accuracy, video quality, noise level, top speed and control distance. I will also take a look at the features like follow me mode.
Hubsan: www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopter...
Coupon: RC15OFF
The Hubsan remote has an integrated FPV transmitter, using a patch antenna for video transmission. Remember to always point it directly at the quadcopter! It rests nicely in the hands, and you can easily reach the switches. The Phantom requires you to install a phone or tablet as the viewing device.
The most obvious difference watching the video from both drones, is the "smoothness". The Phantom has a gimbal, working as a physical stabilizer for the camera. The Hubsan does not have a gimbal, causing vibrations to appear in the video.
Here's some of the resluts from my testing:
Flying time:
-Phantom = 22 minutes
-Hubsan = 20 minutes
Hover accuracy:
-Phantom = Very good
-Hubsan = Good
Video quality:
-Phantom = Smooth as butter and super nice quality.
-Hubsan = A lot of vibrations but quite nice quality of the video.
Noise level:
-Phantom = Noisy
-Hubsan = A lot quieter than the Phantom drone.
Top speed:
-Phantom = 16 m/s
-Hubsan = 12 m/s
Control distance range:
-Phantom = 1500m
-Hubsan = 800m
Features and settings:
-Phantom = A lot of settings with numerous useful features like follow me, point of interest and waypoints.
-Hubsan = Not very many options and difficult to change any settings. However, it does have return to home and follow me.
Conclusion:
The DJI Phantom is far more superior in almost every single test. It's more user-friendly, though the Hubsan is way less expensive. As of now, the Phantom 3 advanced is 799$, and the Hubsan only 280$. As long as you're not looking for a camera platform to shoot videos and demand perfect video quality, the Hubsan will work just fine!

The fact that your comparing a $1000+ dollar drone to a
$250 drone... is all that really needs to be said. For the price, the 501s is FAR superior...
anthony napolitano phantom 3 standard is the same as that phantom for 400 gbp
@Danny Rice
#Nope
The P3 Standard lacks a bunch of advanced features, most notably the increased range and FPV streaming speed. So if you want a drone that does FPV and you don't plan on racing you're actually better off buying the 501. I'm not even sure you can hook the Phantom up to goggles since they make a point to handle everything through their phone app.
Love my 501S
promise the 501 goes way faster than that, needs to be in altitude hold mode, expert on, manual on, and it will actually do flips and rolls, nothing controlled or very graceful but planned and intentionally done. it will also go closer to 18 m speed
With my modded hubsan 501s i can go 4km ^^
It's like comparing a Ford Fiesta with an Audi A6
Awesome side-by-side comparison. Thank you for this demo, you obviously put a lot of thought, time and effort into making it very good, and it shows. Thumbs up.
Thank you for watching!
I like the way you cut and presented your comparison video! Thumbs up!
Good informative video. Would you tell me if the Hubsan H501S and Phantom propellers are interchangeable please, cheers.
Very good work.Thanks!
Hello, I would like to know if you can connect your cell phone to that drones to see the same screen on the screen of the remote control
Very profesional comparison mate , well done
Great comparison! Thanks much it helped.
Love my little husband 501s, and is amazing to see it compete with the phantom, good video, keep it up!!!
Why are you gae
i like your sound test
Excelente comparação, ficou muito bem editado o vídeo, parabéns.
I want to get a drone to explore and see what the world looks from above. I have only once flown my friend's ph4. What would you recommend? Im also on a Budget but i dont mind saving up
my STOCK h501s without any mod.
top speed 16-18m/s
range 2 km
miquelmah and with the mods it's even better, I live my 501#
2km that's a long journey! Are you sure? Thanks John 😁
great video! i want a good camera drone that isnt mega expensive so bad, anyone had any experience with the parrot bebop?
on the hubsan speed test were u in altitude hold mode? because it goes slow in gps mode and the biggest win is the $600 difference
hiw long does it take to charge the hubsan battery???
I can't really see the point of comparing a $800 Phantom to a $240 Hubsan. Yes, $240 on Gearbest for the Hubsan with the advanced remote "Black Friday sale". Granted, if the Hubsan had image stabilization, I'd pay much more for it. I also like the smaller size. I've built a half dozen quads from 260mm to 450mm. Guess which ones I fly?? The 260mm as they are easier to transport and just much more fun for me to fly.
I found the same 'inverse pleasure' with sailboats. The smaller they are, the more fun I have.
I've actually been debating between buying those exact two quads and I'm almost convinced that buying the 501 and then comboing it with a pair of FPV goggles would result in more fun. I mean, it's got a 20 minute lipo pack and a camera that might not be the most amazing in the world but still better than the 0.3MP one I have on the drone I fly now XD
Also the batteries for the Hubsan are only about $28 a pop so I could buy three of them and be flying for hours with a decent charger to rotate off.
In fact, ALL of that would probably cost less than a P3A.

Hey man that's really a great made quality video you did. I have the hubsan and just got the phantom. I've yet to fly the phantom yet but the reason I got it was because I was fed up with the temper of the hubsan to just wonder off on it own. No mater what firmware.
toby russell
That's wrong! The Hubsan is much faster than 12m/s if you fly it in "manual mode"!
@Kobe SINCLAIR-LINTON my new Hubsan goes about 20m/s in manual mode! Way faster then the Phantom
the hubsan h501s can go 15-18 m/s
Nice show, best comprison video i ever seen..
do the DJI props fit on the Hubsan ?
i was your 5000th subscriber bro
+Shoppee Thanks and welcome to my channel!
waiting for the new hubsan 501A
Will be very interesting!
I think its a great comparison. Some are questioning the whole apples to oranges thing but I find it useful because I have the Hubsan 501s and this answers some of my questions regarding... what additional features can I expect out of a more expensive quad copter. Thanks!
800 vs 280 USD :))
280 better ;D

Very nice vid man, really good editing!! Thumps up!!
Check out Dustin Dunnill's Hubsan flight with dual batteries and extended range antenna, he flew out 2400 meters, still had control and video
I subbed rc life you guys are sick
awesome video
great video !! god job......saludos desde chile, me gusto la edicion :D
tive que traduzir , porem gostei das comparações. o phantom é superior , porem muito mais caro, pra começar seria uma otima opção.
porem estou na duvida de qual comprar, tem tantos modelos de hubsan que fica dificil. qual voce poderia sugerir (sem ser o h501s) que acho caro também rs
you can't compare a 1000$ drone vs a 200$ drone. For price/quality the husban is better
Well to be fair, the Phantom is $799 and the Hubsan is $280.
@@RcLifeOn to be fair it isnt 280$
I've just bought the Hubsan and I can tell it totally worth it's price! It was 250 USD in 11.11 sale with the advanced remote! Very nice flying, good vids, I can say it has lot of pros, and only a few cons like no gimbal, but for this price?...
Personally I liked the video on the Hubson more and with that price did the Hubson is better by a mile also I absolutely love the way you edited that good luck and keep it up. Cheers
Awesome, thanks man! The Hubsan is indeed a very nice drone for the price!
I think this is an awesome video. To me, a beginner in the hobby of quadcopter flying I spent $30 on a JJRC H31 which is and learned to fly. Then when I felt my skills had improved, I bought the Hubsan 501c -- which has the GPS and RTH and takes decent video, but was only $135. (Still crashed it on my first flight!) Once I feel I've got that down then I'll move on to something like a DJI, but really am looking for another drone that is an intermediate, I hear the Hubsan 501A might fill that. I think the Hubsan is a decent entry point into the sport, I'd rather loose a $30, or $135, or $280 drone while I learn the sport than watching a $700 drone fly away or crash miserably because I didn't know what I was doing.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
That horror story review on Amazon about the P2 vision+ where he bought the drone and then had it go rogue and drown itself in the river comes to mind XD
I am also new to this and I bought the falcon sky or something like that as a beginner bird. Now I have the Hubsan x4 h501s and I absolutely love it. What a dream to fly. When I get better I’m looking to buy the Autel x star premium. I’ll still keep my x4 though.
Nice video and great editing the comparison - alot of info in a short amount of time. Im looking for a Drone thats not to costly with GPS and a HD camera or where I can add my Yi camera to
The Hubsan is a great value. Thanks for watching!
Do you know if the husban can do fpv with goggles?
Thanks
Yes it can 😁
nice video man
Thanks!
Great video, but Apples & Oranges man...
Trying to find someone that's done a comparison video featuring the Traxxas Aton -vs- Hubsan H501S
It's uncontested. In cost to performance ratio the hubsan wins. If hubsan put more into this drone they'd have to charge more. The x4 pro has a gimbal and its $300. The phantom is nice, but not $800 nice.
The Phantom 3 standard is $389 I think it's like a bang for your buck. It has all the nice features as the advanced except sensors. But who will fly a large gimbal drone indoors lol.
Charge more, they already do. When you compare the only X4 h109s version that ACTUALLY has the same features as this one, or should I say the Phantom 4. Version 3 of the X4 h109s, the price is actually a bit more. Go figure.
How about comparing the right version already. The version you are talking about, the first version, for that price, is not worth it. The gimbal is only 1 axis. Only making it movable in the up/down. Only minutely different than the Hubsan h501s X4 which has a fixed camera angle and a much lower price. The h109s is also larger and heavier due to the gimbal. Also, same transmitter as the Advanced h501s. Really not better. Same as the version 2 of the X4 Hubsan h109s with the 2 axis gimble. Not that much better than the h501s advanced version. Still, the same transmitter. Only 2 axes. Does not make it better.
So, in conclusion, only if the version 3 of the Hubsan X4 h109s was listed at the price of version 1, would it be so much better. But, simply because it is the only version that even comes close to the features of the DJI and the price is higher, does not make it a better purchase. Sorry. Someone has to be honest in these reviews. So, your cost to performance is wrong. Actually, in this instance, the Advanced Hubsan h501s X4 would be a better cost to performance comparison. Just sayin'
***** I saw it and bought it at Sam's Club. $389 was a special sale because they aren't carrying that drone anymore (end of 2016) now they carry the Phantom 4 and Mavic pro. I was stupid though because they had it for $349 on Black Friday, but I missed that and the price was originally $499, but then it got reduced back to $389 because of the new P4 and Mavic, and I didn't make the mistake, I bought it ! But unfortunately, now the P3s is only probably found at best buy, Amazon, target, or a hobby shop. If you can go to the hobby shop or Amazon, I think you can get a discount for $399 the most. Sam's was a little cheaper because it's a membership type store.
U.SS NCC-1701 the phantom 3s isn't discontinued. The p3a and p3p is. Also the p3 4k
Danny Rice The P3s is discontinued at Sam's Club. I didn't say everywhere. You can find it best buy, Amazon, hobby shops, sears, Walmart etc... But Sam's and the Apple Store discontinued the P3s and are now selling Phantom 4's and Mavic pro's.
Im about to buy the Hubsan and I'm
Sure I've read it's has headless mode and fail safe
It does have headless mode, but I don't recommend using it. The fail safe works great!
RCLifeOn is fail safe another way of saying RTH? Or is it some other feature that automatically engages?. Thanks for the reply dude
RTH (return to home) is activated by a switch on the transmitter. Fail safe is automatically activated when the drone lose signal to the transmitter. Both features does the same thing though, flying to the startup position.
Thanks I never heard of faceless mode before , and ive been flying for years. PEACE
ziggyzbeak Pretty sure he meant"headless mode",I could be wrong though
another great video! I have the P3S and am looking for a smaller drone for a long motorcycle trip I have planned next year. The mavic is what is on top of my list but price is an issue. So Ive been considering the Yuneec Breeze. But now think this Hubsan is small enough to travel with and seems to take good enough video. Thanks for the video!
The Hubsan might be small, but it's still going to take up some space due to the shape. The Hubsan is like 300$ and the Mavic 900$? In my opinion, the Mavic is way more than 3 times the drone. Don't take me wrong, the Hubsan is good, but the Mavic is a lot better. Even though price might been an issue today, I would save up for the Mavic.
For all complaining about the comparison how about making your own? I have both and I along with many others enjoyed it. Keep it the good work and ignore the complainers
Esclarecedor...
muito bom; Obrigado!
I just got the hubsan and I am wondering can it the 25$ gimble for it with a GoPro hero 4?
Or would that be to heavy for it
It will be too heavy. Even the GoPro alone would probably be too heavy.
RCLifeOn thanks
so this is the top one from Husban right?
Fantastic
Any ideas why my hubsan doesn't have gps on the screen?
Try check out the Facebook group for the Hubsan. They will help you for sure!
Good video , that make me feel good about my husband 501 I just buy . For the price seems to be better👍
What tablet is it you are using
Both are awesome quads👍😎
They sure are!
Good job!
I got mine going fast my hubsan h501s with out GPS allows huge tilt... it's crazy
сравни DJI Phantom 3 и XIRO XPLORER G ?
Just bought the Hubsan a bit ago, although a great starter, will still probably eventually get the Phantom 4 Pro for max capability and the epic stabilization of the gimbal. Wish someone would make a knock-off (but still good) version of the DJI Inspire. Have never seen better stability or as many controls as that beast.
Ohh! I want a knock off so I don't have to spend 3k on a drone!
Very nice comparison, good job. I have the Hubsan 501C and added a tiny FPV system to it. Works great and the video quality is excellent. Yes the price difference is a huge difference and the Phantom 3 is an amazing drone, however where the hubsan really shines is in its size and portability for the user and the amount of time it is able to stay in the air for someone who likes to do some Quiet photography around wildlife etc. Happy Flying.. GrampaKenCanada
For people who don't want to spend the 800$ on a Phantom, the Hubsan can be a nice alternative. Thanks for watching!
Very well put and I agree with you I like the Hudson quality more
Great job. Well done. Hopefully you can compare the Mavic Pro to the GoPro Karma.
Yes that would be nice , I 2nd that motion :D
That is not fair ....Mavic Pro is my next one but for now as a beginner a $300 Hubsan is good enogh. Mavic Pro is right now for $1500
Totally fair man! Yes, if you have the money, of course, go for the better quality and a few more features. That are actually useless, IMHO, for the average person. However, Most of us can't afford those outrageous prices. So, we settle for the closest to the professional versions we can.
Mine is on its way too, We are probably on the same "Slow Boat From China" lol
Mine too !
I just bought a 501s in the UK, for £140/159 euro/196 USD. Stunned by what it can do.
Видос класс!!!! Теперь я точно не жалею что хабсан взял. От меня ЛАЙК!!!!!!
You did a very good job on your comparison of the 2 , Although it's kind of a "Why shouldn't an $800. machine beat a $300. one" kind of deal. If you were going to use the Phantom, I'd rather seen the lesser of them like the Phantom 3 Standard, but I STILL enjoyed your video, it told me a lot I didn't know or hadn't thought about. I'm wanting one, (the best I can afford for the least Money) and the H501s is more in my affordability line as I'm sure many more people are like. Maybe one day I can fly with the Big Dogs, but Today I'm leaning toward the H501s Advanced, Unless there's a better one at or near the same price. Thanks for your video, you did a great job,
Thank you very much for your comment. The idea of the video was to see the difference in performance, and even though we already knew the Phantom would be superior, the question remains; by how much? Hopefully the video provides the answer. Thanks once again!
Hi dan is really becoming an impressive brand
Rapaz que top massa
i just got the hubsan its great quad but i think id go with phantom for next quad so phantom
I like the way you made your video. I have the hubsan h501s and it has impessed me allot. I aw how you showed the range of the 2 but with a 15$ very easy mod you can double the range. I have a video where I flew 1403m. And I seen videos where it goes further. For the price thw hubsan is a winner and now it comes with the advanced TX. Good stuff man!
+Ian Rice Thanks for your comment! At 800m the FPV signal became rather weak, but I'm confident that during the best conditions you could go way futher. Have a nice day!
I got my Hubsan and controller new with extra batteries for $150. It's a heck of a deal.
I have both phantom 4 pro and hubsan h501s and each has it’s good and bad points but both great fun.
A real contender that could go against the Phantom 3 is the Hubsan H906a x4 standard edition. Around 299$ to 499$ but has a gimbal, all the freatures of older models like the H501s you compared, and more!
I LOVE MY HUBSAN I BOUGHT 2, ONE JUST INCASE THE FIRST ONE BROKE OR LOST IT. FOR THE PRICE ITS AMAZING.
for a beginner drone and beginner pilot i'll take the hubsan. which is what i'm gonna do. i'm buying it from amazon tomorrow and it's down to $170.00. not bad.
I just ordered a h501s advanced, I feel for the price it is a very good buy.
Yeah sure, it's decent. Though, I would probably try to find a used Phantom 3 Advanced on Craigslist or something.
12meters per second in gps mode mine can go up to 40meters per second in altitude hold
I own both models as you do. The one thing you failed to mention even though this is a great video (thank you), is how much faster a response time the 501 has. If I was hired for filming apples 4K screen savers, I would get the DJI. But for my own personal use, the hubsan is a fun little chopper that I can zoom around quickly. Phantom is way way more sluggish to start. Also, the footage from the phantom it’s not any better than my $80 action cam & gimble DIY for the hubsan. Either way, avoid the bugs 2W like the plague.
Come puoi fare una comparazione!!! 2 mondi completamente differenti e soprattutto due prezzi completamente differenti
I don't know about you guys but it would seem to me that the H4 pro would have been a better choice for this comparison.
well the hubson is more silent but no camera stabilization, so i would go for phantom for camera stabilization.
I personally have both and I find that the hubsan is much more fun to fly and has way more features that you didn’t mention on your video 😓
This is how all comparison videos should be edited.
The h501s with pro transmitter could reach up to 2km range
800m are Standard transmitter
Good style of comparison video u shud do more, but need to put more time into comparing the cameras.
Thanks for your input!
I fly with Hubsan 15 m/s speed with external camera mount. With load more inertia.
Subbed
Thanks mate!
I would've probably compared the dji to the hubsan x4 pro 109s that's actually a camera platform not a quad with a camera
cool dron
The big difference for me was cost, size and flight time. The Hubsan has a transmitter that uses sat tech with out needing a wifi connection. That 800 quad is useless when wifi goes away. Look the 800 quad has better picks and video. You paid 500 for it. Talk to people who lose or wreck their 800 quad. For hunting, survival and most other reasons I pick Hubsan.
The Hubsan 501s is the perfect drone for someone starting out. I totally wished I didn't do it backwards. I got the DJI phantom 3 standard 1st and after a week broke the camera off. Cost me 100. So while I was waiting for it to get fixed. I purchased the 501s. Wow it is truly awesome. Worst case you might not even enjoy FLYING Muscle memory learning how to fly. When I crashed a few reasons are to blame but, mainly because I didn't react fast enough. Flying line of sight is another one(especially when there's things around you). Flying fpv is Not meant for the New One's. The 501s is a great way to learn, then upgrade into the DJI world. I love the phantom and will upgrade to the spark next.

Not the best comparison and the Hubsan now has way points and a watch that gives you full control of the drone with follow me and orbit for under 200.00 so I would say hubsan has the win
There are also higher editions of the H901a X4 Pro, but more expensive.
Just got the Hubsan H501SS Pro Advanced for my son's 15th -day, extra transmitter and drone batteries, case, Y-mod double battery upgrade cable, upgraded 2.4gHz antenna, remote and drone all for under $400! The DJI Phantom 3 is $634 for the quadcopter ONLY with the best price on Amazon, and the Hubsan H501SS we got was $180 with remote. $634 (+ remote cost) - $180 = $454 difference and you don't even have a remote with the DJI. Why compare the 2? If I was looking to buy a drone I would have a set cost in mind for my budget, I would compare the H501SS with something around $200 without the extras I bought, then compare additional upgrades and accessories and maybe customer service for each brand.
If Hubsan used a digital gimbal, like the Parrot Bebop 1-2 and Disco, for some more bucks, I would buy the Hubsan. Now it's more like a big racer quadcopter, which is too bad, because it's video quality is quite good.
Zoltán Nagy If you NEED it you can add a virtual gimbal using a video software but it's complicated
I had just bought an X4 Pro prior to viewing this - I absolutely love your choice in comparison, your professionalism gives me more confidence pending delivery, so ignore the naysayers. The video couldn't be better, keep up the good work. So refreshing to see more intelligent offerings like this, versus those crackheads who habitually must start their garbage with "... What's goin' on? ..." and proceed to spend five minutes "teaching" us how to unbox.
From modeling, I prefer the small and exquisite with hubasan, from shooting really like DJI more. I play with hubasan on my own, and the Youme batteries are much better than the original ones.
As many other people have said, you've made a great video but as a comparison it was not a good match up as they are not competitive quads. The tone of the video IMHO is that the Phantom is a way better quad, which it is, but that's like bragging that your diamond ring is shinier than plastic ring I got out of the quarter machine at the grocery store. If the tone of the video was more like your final slide; that the Hubsan, though not as good as the Phantom, is a awesome machine for the price/value, I think it would have been a better video.
hubsan is better considering the price and performance of a drone with such a small budget looking at the results
I have hubsan x4 h501ss pro myself
Bought the Hubsan , for the price ( GREAT )

me quedo con el Hubsan H501S X4
For me the better is the hubsan
I have a hubsan and had a phantom I like the hubsan
Hubsan!
